Ah, yes. The wonders of the Warp. Who knows where your strike cruiser can end up next after being caught in one?

Sad thing is, SM's (maybe particularly UM's) aren't all too keen on preserving or communicating properly with their discoveries. (They make a lot of enemies that way but heck, who isn't an enemy of the Imperium nowadays?)

"So that explosion wasn't Marisa..."

Painting intended for fun - as it turned out, this is my first painting of a forest. Approximately four to five hours of work all done today.

It's not intentional either but it looks more anime backgroundy than any of my previous works.

Note: the kana on the sign reads "donations please".

Note^2: "Dakka dakka" and "danmaku" are very alike, beyond their commonalities as just mere words, no?

And yeah, the Imperium sucks at making friends. Actually, in the sequel to my current Monster Hunter/Warhammer story, their ally recruiting skills have gotten to the point where even other humans become their enemies.

The crossover on this one is with Touhou. I figured only people who either knew WH40K OR Touhou would appreciate this picture and that people who knew BOTH would be the only ones to get the joke behind.

Anyhow, I realize that the Space Marines look just plain cool with all the gothic elements on their power armor and the size of their bolters. I think GW decided to outweigh that and their strengths by giving them some anti-hero behavior bias towards non-humans - and the fact that the Imperium is practically like the Roman Empire only probably worse in terms of governance. (Though how much Holy Terra can manage entire sectors far away is a significant task on its own such that there are so many human worlds, enough to make each world lose individuality rather than just people.)

Don't forget that they're anti-religous as well. I'm surprised that there aren't stories that don't capitalize on that. Either I'm the first to think of it (which is extremely unlikely), or I just haven't seen other people's stories with that.

I bet the space marines are already unloading their bolters into the touhou characters in the story LOLz. Good thing this pod does not have a missile array, or there will be craters around the location it landed.
